Chapter 4

Dancing with Seth was magical. He was so warm and I felt like time and everything out of this dance was gone, and it was just the two of us.

We didn't talk much just I don't know how to quite describe it, but it seemed that he was just as drawn to me. It just felt right. We moved together in perfect step.

I was just getting up enough nerve to talk to him, when he said, "Sophia, I think the song ended, but would you allow me one more? We can actually talk this time."

I nodded and he said, "Sophia, so I know the little that Leah has told me that you are from Louisiana? What's it like there, do you have any family there?"

I sighed and said, "Well I have my Aunt and Uncle there" I pointed to them and then I said, "But they are my adopted family. I was adopted when I was a few months old. My adopted parents died a few days before my eighteenth birthday…"

"Oh Sophia, I'm so sorry…"

I put my hand up and said, "Its ok. I've dealt with it and I'm moving on quite well. I could try to locate my birth family, but I know my birth mother died when I was born, and there is no information about my father, so it's probably just a dead end anyway.

"I'm not sure I even want to find him anyway. I mean I don't think my birth parents were together at the time either. So I'd rather just not even try so as not to get my hopes up. I'm content with my Aunt and Uncle and since I no longer need a guardian anyway."

Seth thought for a moment and then he said, "Ok so you went to college at LSU? What did you major in?"

"I just did general studies. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and I'm still not sure. I know you'd think that by now I should have some direction, but I come up short."

Seth then said, "But you still have time."

"Yeah I guess so."

The second song came to an end and then we had to take more pictures and time to do the toasts.

Embry stood up and said, "A year ago, I stood at the bottom of the Cullen's stairs. I was waiting for the maid of honor to proceed so we could walk, and let the bride come so we could just get the day over with."

Jake jokingly said, "Wow bitter much?"

Everyone laughed and Embry continued, "I had no idea that in seconds my world would be completely changed forever. Then I looked into her eyes and then came the part where I never wanted the night to end.

"I would like to take this time to invite any couple to join us for our final dance at our wedding. I want you all to look back and remember that moment when you first fell in love with each other and hold that person close."

I saw several guys go with some girls. I even saw a few older guys, dance with a few younger girls. I admit that was really weird, but really cute at the same time.

I kind of stood there wishing Maybe Seth would ask me, but scared to hope. I was just about to sit, when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I turned to see Seth and he said, "Sophia would you like to dance with me?"

I nodded not being able to find my voice.

He took my hand and once again it was magical.

He sighed and said, "Ok I know I may sound crazy, but I watched my sister and her now husband go through a time where they were miserable because they didn't take a chance, but I don't have the time to take that chance."

He took a deep breath and said, "What I'm trying to say is, even though we just met, I really like you, and I…"

He ran his hand frustratingly through his hair and sighed and said, "I was wondering if you might first of all; not think I'm crazy, secondly would you maybe want to go out for dinner tomorrow?"

I was stunned at first and didn't know what to say. Did he really just ask me out? Does he possibly feel what I feel?

He was still waiting for my answer and I took a deep breath and whispered, "I'd love to."

Then we danced and it was again like everything melted away and we were the only two that were here.

Leah and Embry left and we started to clean up, I was dead tired, and Seth came to me and said, "Let's get you back. You will be sleeping in Leah's old room tonight."

I nodded and followed him.

The next morning the minute I woke up and immediately remembered that I would go on a date with Seth today. Then I realized I hadn't brought much clothes with me. I hadn't planned on needing much.

I was just about to go figure something out, when there was a knock at the door. Leah's mom opened and I recognized one of the pale skinned women from the wedding.

She smiled and said, "Hey I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Nessie's sister Alice. I overheard Leah tell Embry that you had a date with Seth. When I asked her if you had brought anything for the date with you, and she said she wasn't sure. As you know from the other night, I take a great joy in giving makeovers. Not that you need really one, but every girl can use some pampering before a date. Please?"

At first I was surprised that she would ask me a sort of stranger. Then I figured maybe Leah had asked her to check in on me. I also knew she'd help Leah plan the wedding and all. She had good taste and would help me look perfect for my first date with Seth.

So I pretty much had the royal treatment all day. She did my nails and my hair and then she took me to this closet that was bigger than our coffee shop back home.

I said, "Wow is this yours?"

She grinned and said, "Well I've designed most of it, but no I share it with my sisters. I believe you are close to Nessie's size. Let's see what she's got."

She dug through tons of dresses and we settled on a knee length satin soft baby pink sleeveless with black circles on it. With a black half jacket and black heels with a peak toe.

Alice then handed me a pink clutch purse and had me look in the mirror. I hardly recognized myself. I said, "Wow I look gorgeous! Thank-you so much!"

Alice grinned and said, "Girl, all I did was to enhance the beauty that was already there. Believe me when I say the pleasure is all mine."

There was a knock on the door and the sister named Bella said, "Yes believe her. She's always trying to get me to let her play Barbie on me."

We all laughed and then she said, "Sophia, I just wanted to let you know that Seth is here."

I all of a sudden got nervous. What if he decided he didn't like me as much as he thought he did last night? What if maybe he had drank a little too much champagne and…"

Alice broke through my thinking by saying, "Ok time to show off my masterpiece."

We walked down the stairs and I felt butterflies. As I finally came into full view, I looked for Seth. However, for some reason the minute I looked into his eyes and saw him smile, and the butterflies vanished. It was almost as if again just being near him I felt safe. It was weird to explain.

I stepped off the last step and Seth reached for my hand and said, "You are so beautiful. Not that you weren't before. Only Alice could take the most perfect creature and make her more beautiful"

Alice giggled and said, "Well I can't take all the credit, she helped to. Mostly by not kicking and screaming like Bella and Nessie."

Everyone else chuckled and Seth said, "Well, shall we go?"

I nodded and we left. We to a small restaurant in the town. It was very quaint, and cozy, but really nice at the same time. We talked and he told me many jokes over dinner.

After dinner, he said, "So would you like to go for a walk on the beach?"

I then said, "I'd love to."

As we walked the beach I said, "So tell me a little about the tribe. I knew Leah was from and Indian reservation, but she never told me about it. I have never heard of the Quileute tribe."

He then said, "Well I can tell you a little, but not like Jake or Embry. I'll give you a little background. So the legend of our tribe is that we are descendants of wolves. It's against tribe law, to kill a wolf. But our tribe also considers themselves as protectors."

"Really", I said so intrigued, "What kind of Protectors?"

"Um..." Seth faltered and said, "Well as I said, "I'm not much of a story teller, but we will be having a bon fire the week after Leah and Embry are finished their Honeymoon…"

I interrupted him and said, "But I'm supposed to leave tomorrow with my Aunt and Uncle."

His face got worried and then brightened. He then said, "Well you said you've never really had a chance to get out much. Why not stay for a few weeks? I know Leah, will not be available much until the end of next week, but we could hang out and you can stay at mom's house."

I thought for a minute and said, "I wouldn't want to impose."

We stopped at near these branches that were near the water's edge. There was a warm breeze and no rain which was practically a miracle or so I'm told.

It was peaceful and you could smell the brine of the sea. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and I again noticed the heat that seemed to radiate off of him.

He then said, "You wouldn't be imposing. I'd really like more time to get to know you. I haven't learned much, but the little that I do know has me so intrigued.

"Besides, if you don't stay how can I get you to fall in love with me as much as I'm learning that I am with you?"

I stared at him for a while and said, "You love me?"

A/N: Dun Dun Duuuuuun! That's a cliff hanger for. I know but like I had to cut off at some point. This story is really starting to fall into place and I'm finally back into the groove. As I said it will be a slow process, but you guys review, it will help me push. Please I really want to know what you guys think. Hit that little button and make my day. Then recommend me to a friend. Thanks again Lots of Love, Missionarycook…
